Market analysis believes the sharp slump in South Korea’s stock market is driving some capital to flow back into the crypto market. The KOSPI index has dropped by about 10% cumulatively since last Friday. Wu Blockchain data shows that impacted by this, the trading volume of South Korean exchange Upbit surged by 1426%, reflecting that some investors are shifting from the stock market to crypto assets. Additionally, altcoins showed mixed performance: LIT and ENA both rose by around 5.7%, NEAR increased by 3.3%, FET gained 1.7%; JUP and WLFI fell by 1.5% and 0.5% respectively. CoinMarketCap’s "Altcoin Season Index" has now risen to 54, ending its long-term state below 50.

Dragonfly Managing Partner Haseeb Qureshi stated that earlier market fears of an AI-driven DeFi "hacker apocalypse" have not materialized. Data shows that while the number of hacking incidents hit a new high in 2026, the median loss per attack has fallen below $500,000, down from over $2 million in 2025. Qureshi argues that AI-enabled attackers are currently targeting mostly small protocols with weak security, while large DeFi protocols have gradually beefed up their defenses. Excluding the 2025 Bybit hack and major attacks like those on KelpDAO and Drift Protocol in 2026, the average monthly stolen funds this year remain lower than last year. However, blockchain security firm CertiK noted that the crypto industry’s hacking-related losses in the first half of 2026 fell 46.8% year-over-year to $1.32 billion, a drop that does not reflect a significant improvement in industry security. CertiK explained that last year’s figures were heavily skewed by the $1.4 billion Bybit breach, while over 70% of Q2 2026 losses still stemmed from attacks on KelpDAO and Drift Protocol—incidents widely attributed to North Korean hacking groups.

An individual Bitcoin miner has successfully mined Bitcoin’s 957382nd block independently using a Bitaxe mining rig priced at under $200, earning a 3.125 BTC block reward valued at roughly $200,000 based on current prices. The rig has a hash rate of around 1 TH/s, accounting for only a tiny portion of the global Bitcoin network’s total hash rate. Mining pool Public Pool noted that this is an extremely low-probability independent mining success, demonstrating that low-cost mining hardware still has the potential to secure full block rewards. Data shows this marks the 12th Bitcoin block mined independently by individual miners since 2026. Over the past 12 months, 24 blocks have been mined independently by individual miners, a 41% year-on-year increase, with cumulative rewards totaling 75.4 BTC, worth approximately $4.7 million.
